Overview

The ABB GLE 500 is a high-quality aluminum compression splice designed for reliable electrical connections. Engineered by ABB Installation Products, this splice is specifically manufactured for 500 kcmil stranded conductors, accommodating both compressed and compact conductor types. Its robust aluminum construction ensures durability and excellent conductivity for a wide range of industrial applications. The GLE 500 features an oil stop to prevent conductor contamination and comes pre-filled with an oxide inhibitor, indicated by its distinctive pink caps, to ensure a clean and secure connection that resists oxidation over time. This dual-rated splice is compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors, offering versatility in installation. Measuring 4 inches in length with an outside diameter of 1-3/16 inches, it is designed for efficient use of space. The required dies for proper installation are CSA 28-12T, 317, and 426. The pink color of the caps serves as a visual indicator for the oxide inhibitor and conductor size compatibility. This splice is a critical component for ensuring the integrity and longevity of electrical systems where reliable termination of large gauge conductors is paramount. Its compression connection type provides a secure mechanical and electrical bond, essential for maintaining system performance and safety. The inclusion of oxide inhibitor and oil stop features directly addresses common issues in conductor termination, contributing to reduced maintenance and enhanced operational reliability. The GLE 500, SKU GLE 500, is a testament to ABB's commitment to providing dependable electrical connection solutions for demanding industrial environments.
